Firefox 3 Release & Stardock Site Compatibility

Jul 30, 2008 12:59

Firefox 3.0 goes final and is scheduled for release on Tuesday, June 17th.

There are currently known incompatibilities between Firefox 3 and many of our sites and forums. For the most part, the sites function properly, but have formatting issues. A specific example are the login & password fields to log into these forums. In Firefox 3, instead of both being on the same line, they are stacked vertically.

We will be addressing these visual issues in time. Please do NOT post threads on the forums pointing out Firefox 3 site issues. They will be deleted. We are aware of the problems and will work as quickly as we can to resolve them.

Until posted otherwise, the only version of Firefox our sites support at the moment is Firefox 2.

When I click on "Edit Image...", make changes, save... then lose my transparency!

When I click on "Edit Image", Skinstudio opens up paintbrush. I have been making changes, not realizing that the oroginal transparencies are now all gone!

If I manually try to edit the tga file using different applications such as Paint.NET or Irfanview, when I save the TGA file and reload the skin, the image becomes all white.

What's the trick to reliably keeping existing transparency in an image without jumping through hoops? I just want to click Edit Image, make simple changes, save... and it will ONLY change what I changed, not the transparency as well.

Thanks in advance!

Go into preferences and set your preferred image editor as the default editor.. then check "convert TGA to PNG" option so that when you open a TGA for editing it becomes a PNG.. then when you save... SKS reconverts it back to TGA for use.

Thanks so much!
